Thanks for the pics Doubledub. This agrees with the sketch I have in Hayes manual. I was just stumped when I couldn't get the first piston stop or "keeper" out before I even got step where I need the special snap ring tool mentioned. I'll try again with a hooked pick or small screwdriver again and see if I can get it. Thanks again for the advise and efforts.
